My buds always get eaten - too many birds in the garden, don't know which are the culprits. These are such beautiful colours.

Beautiful colours and a great photo Tastey

Sorry Wagger that someone is eating all you flowers, before they open.
Thanks all :) I can't get over that blue one, it's a beauty.

That is a beautiful blue..You should press that bloom and frame it.

It's funy that you mention that Newfie. I just now (they are literally drying at this moment) glued some of the pansies that I dried onto thank you cards for some of the children that gave me gifts for the holidays.
You're right, these are beauties. I should dry some. They're so big, I wonder if they'll dry as nicely as the little ones.
